WHERE TO EAT The best Pork Pie in the world (according to food experts)

"A feast of a pie, made with great chunks of well-seasoned pork interlaced with Lincolnshire Poacher cheese and topped with Borettane onions, which add a pleasant sweetness."

"The pork crackling and deep-fried monkfish cheeks could make grown men cry. The star turn is a little handraised pork pie."

"Their normal pies are good, made with superb local pork, crisp pastry and just the right amount of white pepper. But, their pork pie with a thick layer of black pudding hiding under the lid was the most pleasant surprise I’ve had since I managed to get an A in maths at the age of fifteen."

"The pork belly chunks melted in my mouth and the large chunks of soft apple gave it a sweet, ever so slight tartness. I had to make this pie again. I had to eat this pie again."

"Eley’s of Ironbridge does make superb pork pies, spicy and made traditionally by hand. Unlike Melton Mowbray pies, which use uncured meat, Eley’s meat is cured, giving a lovely pink colour to the meat."

"The humble pie rises to stratospheric heights at this fabulous bakery-deli on Blenheim's rural fringes; try the pork-belly."

"The English Pork Pie Company’s pies were delicious. The savory pastry crust was flaky and just had enough ratio to the dense, lard-y, wonderfully seasoned, pork meat filling."
